Kuronuma Sawako is nicknamed Sadako due to her resemblance to the girl from the Japanese horror movies "The Ring". Shunned by her classmates, her life starts to change as she befriends Shōta Kazehaya, a very popular boy in her class.
Kuronuma Sawako’s one wish in life is to make friends. That’s a difficult proposition when everyone who meets her cowers in terror. She admires her classmate, Kazehaya-kun, a popular, easygoing and 100% refreshing guy who is nice with everyone, even with her.

Overall Rating
Good
Story: 3
Dialogue: 5
Animation: 3
Entertainment: 4
pros
+ clever dialogue with comedy and funny misunderstandings
+ nice character interaction and development
+ well-designed backgrounds
cons
- somewhat fairy-tale-like, not much of a conflict
- story drags
- character design
conclusion: while the story is a little too simple and draggy to be truly good, there's a lot of time for character development, and that one is well-executed overall. likable characters, although the main guy's nice acts creep me out. dialogue is clever with comedy and some funny misunderstandings. while there is romance, no clichés are overused. the animation's a little odd, with backgrounds being well designed yet character animation that could need an upgrade. mostly aimed at girls, and as such perhaps a little fairy-tale-like, but still far from clichéd, and worth the watch if you like comedy, romance, and a bit of slice of life. believe that coming from a guy. :p
